R Hancock & Co

Location and period of operation:

 (See sources)

• China and earthenware manufacturer in the High Street, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent

• The partners were Redulphus Hancock, Edward Corn, James Edge and John Lythgoe.

• on the 14th August 1850 the business was dissolved my mutual consent and the business carried on as
  the firm of Corn, Lythgoe & Edge - however this new partnership again only lasted a few more months.  

In 1850 listed as R Hancock & Co and in 1851 as Redulphus Hancock. 
Hanock's house is listed as Sytch, (Liverpool Road).

In 1837 Edward Corn had purchased the works in the High Street from Hancock & Lythgoe but in 1850 Corn moved to better works in Navigation Road, Burslem. 

It appears that Hancock bought the High Street works back again, there was a brief partnership between Lythgoe & Corn and then Lythgoe aquired the work on his own for about 4 years. 

Previously: Edward Corn 

Subsequently: Corn, Lythgoe & Edge  

Redulphus Hancock had also been in partnership with William Emberton as Emberton, Hancock & Co at Highgate Pottery, Brownhills, Burslem.
